Description of Idea
I go over what I call the "Respect and Responsibility" rules during the first class of the year. I have 2 posters with this information outside the door of the gym.
At the end of each class, I give each child a small piece of paper with the assignment on it.
"You need to think about the "Respect and Responsibility" rules that are posted in the gym. Bring in a picture that you have drawn, found in a magazine or newspaper, OR taken of friends and family that shows one of these rules. If you participated in or watched a sporting event this summer, your picture can show how these rules apply. You will be ready to talk about it to the class. K-2 will write one or two sentences (with help if necessary) and 3-5 will write two or three sentences about the picture. Make sure that your name and class are on the picture."
Assessment Ideas:
In the second class of the year, I have each child tell about the picture as we discuss the rules.
Teaching Suggestions:
I put the assignment on colored paper, so it is easy to see.
My rules posters have the first letter in bold print so that "respect" is highlighted.
I post the pictures in the gym and the cafeteria, then return them to the children.
